Ride report? Hmmm... short powerband, soft suspension, cornering is ok, but I think a better front tire will help that. I didn't push it that much.
My bike has a 50t rear sprocket. I bought a 49t to try next. I think that will help broaden the power. I would like to stiffen the springs too. I'm 180 lbs. I assume the springs are stock. Shifting under power was a bit sketchy. I missed a couple shifts. Also, the dipped seat is hard to move around on. I might try a tall seat eventually.
Here's a video of me cruising around MMX track in California. I suggest skipping ahead to 4:00 or so.

I'm a sucker for punishment
Some new parts... Oem Suzuki front fender, 24.00$..ufo rear more cost effective than stock & the fit & finish on the ufo is top shelf... pulled the trigger on the pro circuit pipe & silencer...soda blasted the engine, was stained with orange dirt, but the soda blaster cleans it up perfect! Still have to soda a bunch of other parts.
The original swingarm has a decent size dent on the side, and needed new bearings, found eBay arm really cheap, not perfect but much better that what I had & the bearings are very clean...
A few pix of my '92 RM250.... Wish I still had it, like a lot of other bikes I have had and sold!
I have a set of OEM style aftermarket Rad Shroud graphics that I never used, went with the Ceet/FMF look. I also have an Applied Triple Clamp Top Clamp w/ bar mounts that I was going to install but sold the bike before I was able to install them. Still in the box. Contact me if anyone is interested at hudweiser9@gmail.com
Did a little soda blasting today.. Calipers & fork lugs cleaned up nice...went on Race Tech site for spring rate info, turns out a stock 96 cr 250 spring is the correct 5.6 kg spring that Race a Tech calls for. Stock rate is 5.2. I just happened to have a stock 96 cr 250 shock spring in my loft! Spring will be powdercoated with frame.
I have a harbor freight blaster. Good Gravy it make one heck of a mess. Works good but a pain in the butt
Pit Row
Frame sandblasted & back from the welder. Had to put engine back in to line up oil drain bolt hole in welded on skid plate, put a few more holes in the plate for the factory look...also had engine mounts & lower cradle welds redone. 3rd photo shows Suzuki"s attempt to gusset the steer head area......pretty crude looking for a factory weld! I bet a 10 yr old Chinese girl could weld better than that today!
Welded new seat bolt nuts.... I like when all the bolts are the correct sizes!
Hate to buy from china, but footpeg choice is limited
Pegs fit good....off to powdercoater....still looking for some decent 95 forks, be nice to find some 95 forks that have been revalved & have stiffer springs already. The original forks are very clean, Have some signs of caps being taken off at some point.....judging by the damage to the caps. I will disassemble the original forks to see if springs have been changed...I may just run the stock forks
Raced it at Unadilla 2015 and also Sleepy Hollow 2-Stroke Shootout but never could feel comfortable on it. Ended up buying a 1998 RM for the better ergos and putting the 1992 up on the rack to look at since they both end up in the same race class.
The pipe and silencer on there, believe it or not I paid less than $50 shipped to my house for that whole exhaust package! Pro Circuit pipe and silencer, the pipe has one big dent in the side (you can see it on the video) like someone had it on a bike and it fell over. No other dings, nothing. I can't remember how I found that on Ebay but I snatched it up right away. Just never got around to blowing the dent out.
Oh, something else that was a good add-on was I put a clutch perch assembly from modern KX250f/450f. They are cheap new and you can find new take-offs on Ebay. I can't remember why but it didn't swap over to my 98...... but works nice on the '92.
Picked up some very nice 95 twin chamber forks....100.00 free shipping! Ez swap, everything from the 92 fits right on. Have not made it down to powdercoater yet with the frame, debating getting weld on case guard.......plugging away at this bike slowly.....
Boysen rad valve
Swingarm & linkage all ready to go
